Random Irritations

Most seem to recommend not repairing runflats.

Funnily enough it was my local Protyre who just did the repair. I told them I was surprised and he said that Goodyear and a couple of other manufacturers now encourage a single repair as long as it’s away from the sidewall.

Those who drive without turning lights on when it must be impossible for them to see their dash instruments.

Fog lights are another massive irritation alongside those who are never off the brake pedal because they can't cope with being more than 3 feet from the car in front.

A lot of modern cars automatically adjust the dash lights for the ambient light.

I never have my lights on auto. I prefer to have control myself. Sometimes dipped headlights need to be on before auto lights kick in. For instance, when driving in rural country roads where trees make it darker.
An oncoming car will see my dipped headlights in a split second before seeing my car.
I remember in the early seventies in Germany, if you need to have your windscreen wipers on then it was Law to have dipped headlights on.

It's always surprised me that we dont have the same laws over here.

Pretty sure we have something similar in this country (something like you must have lights on when it is raining) but probably one a lot of people are not aware of.

Since writing the first bit I did a bit of digging around and it is only inferred in the 1989 driving regs. The requirement is to turn on your lights when visibility is reduced to less than 100.
